Thanks, The detail surprised me as well

DSS has three tabs to play with.
RGB sliders
Luninance
Saturation
Play with them all and see how it affects your image.
First up line up the RGB to be the same then play with position and then the other tabs.
Enjoy
Oh and I just go with what DSS decides. More info the better I figure until something looks of

I hate DSS in that you have to click apply to see the change, I'll play around with it though, I need to give it a fair try.
Cheers

With DSS, I throw away subs which a) have less than 3/4 of the stars of the best images b) have significant tracking errors or large FWHM scores. It's worth mousing some stars in each image and checking their shape. If they are too elongated I just delete image off my hard-drive. I'll never use them anyway.

Thanks for that Cam, that's the answer I needed in regards to choosing subs.
I took another 100 last night, threw 15 away from clouds spoiling the show. I added them to the previous nights and weaned them down to 103 of good quality, I'll stack them later and see how it goes.

Hope you dont mind i have been trying to learn photoshop and i spent some time playing around with your image last night while doing some subs of my own.
anyway here's what i come up with not sure if you would call it better i think its just a different look with more black.

I don't mind at all, help yourself.
Certainly better definition in yours
